Hope You Feel Better

Hi, I have my  Design Team card to share with you today that I made

using digital paper from A Bit More Time to Craft.

For this one, I used one of the papers from the

Beauty Dream pack.   Make sure you head on over to 

A Bit More Time to Craft as Lozzy will release a lot

of new paper sets November 4th, she also has a freebie on Fridays.

I really love how this card turned out.  I made it following

the sketch from Pals, Paper, Arts where unfortunately this is

their last challenge. 

The circle I cut out using some dies and then stamped

it with a Unity Stamp from the 

Butterflies and Sunbeams set.

Have you ever checked out Unity Stamps, well if not

you really need to if you love stamps.  They are high-quality 

red rubber stamps and OMG the sales they have

are great!

I set up a cut file in Cricut Design Space for this card.  I think it

would look good made up in some Christmas papers so I think

I will make a bunch using different papers.

Well, thanks for stopping by.

A Couple Christmas Cards

Hi, just a quick post to show you a couple Christmas cards

I have made recently.  

I usually make one that a mass produce for the majority of my

cards, but I also make random ones over the year.

And then this one is the same pattern.

This one I used some stamps from SugarPea Designs.

Both of these cards I set up a cut file in Cricut Design Space and cut using my Explore.  I did this cause I thought it would waste less paper plus make it easier to duplicate the cards with different papers if I choose to.

I really like this one this one came out.  I also set up a cut file for this one in Design Space.  The Merry Christmas is a Gina Marie die and

the reindeer was cut using my Explore.   I embossed the back panel using a Cuttlebug embossing folder, Christmas Houses. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop and take a peek at my Christmas cards.

Pretty as a Peacock

Hi, today's card I made using a Unity Stamp from 

the Pretty as a Peacock set.

I stamped the peacock on watercolor paper and then 

colored/painted it using my Zig Clean Color Markers and Distress Inks.

After I colored it I hand cut it out or "fussy" cut it as they say.

I mounted the peacock with foam tape.  The background paper is from a DCWV Mediterranean Cafe stack, then I added strips of lime green cardstock. 

I created this card following the sketch over at the Unity Show & Tell challenge on Facebook. 

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy reading your comments.

Hi here is a super quick post.

Over at The House that Stamps Built they are having challenge

to use food or drink on your card.

Here is the card I came up with.  The wine bottle and glass is 

a stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps it is a really cool stamp that gives it a watercolor effect, check it out HERE. The sentiment is from Repeat Impressions.  Papers are from a Paper House stack.

Well, I cut myself real close to the deadline on this one (just 15 minutes to go) so I better get this posted.

Dies Flowers in Epoxy

I have a quick card to share with you today.

I made it following one of the sketches this month over 

on the Crafting Circle message board.  It runs through the end of October so

you have plenty of time to join in.

The flowers are actual dried flowers in epoxy, I have had these stickers for
a pretty long time.  The papers I used from an old paper stack I had from k*i Memories that has a very nice variation of patterns and papers.
I die the stitched squares using some of my Gina Marie dies.
The happy birthday is also die cut but I can't remember whose it is, sorry.
And that is it, told you it was a quick card.
Thanks for stopping by.

Let Your Dreams.........

.............set sail.

Hi, here is a card I made this week following the Mojo Monday sketch.

      

All the papers are from the My Mind's Eye "By the Sea" pack.  I got this pack with embellishments,tags, and papers a while back and have been wanting to make a card with it so this sketch was perfect for it.  So hard to photograph the shiny silver paper because it picks up the other colors, but I think you can which parts are the silver.

This week at Mojo Monday is a prize week, so head on over and join in you

could win some Verve stamps. 

I stamped a Verve sentiment in the small tag at the top that I cut using

my Cricut Explore. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Shabby Paper Birthday

Hi, back to share another card with you.

I am on the design team for A Bit More Time to Craft where

Lozzy has some fabulous digital papers.  There is an anything goes challenge twice a month and freebie papers on Fridays, so be sure and check it out.

This time, I used paper from the Shabby paper pack and made this card following the sketch this week at Mojo Monday.  

I printed the papers on just plain white cardstock and matted it on some darker pinkish paper.  The flower I cut using my Cricut Explore and embossed it to 

give it some texture.  The scalloped stitched circle is a Gina Marie die that I just got. :) The center sentiment is a Rubbernecker stamp and I thought it went

perfectly in the center.

Well that's it, thanks for stopping by and be sure and join in the challenge at

A Bit More Time to Craft!

If we believe

Hi, can you believe it is October already?  Where has the

time gone.  One thing I am glad about it being October is that the

weather here in Arizona is finally cooling down.

Today I have a card to share with you as a Design Team member

at the Crafty Awesomeness Challenge.

This month our sponsor is Sasayaki Glitter, she has the most adorable

images. 

This poor little turtle looks so sad and looks like it is having a bad day.

I wanted to do it in bright colors to brighten up the mood a bit.  The papers are all single sheet ones I have had for years.  I colored the image using my Copic 

markers then cut it out using my Gina Marie x stitched die. I distressed the edges

of the back circles using my Tim Holtz distressing tool.   If you have never checked out Gina Marie dies you are really missing out.  She has such a large

variety of dies and stamps and her prices are better than anyone else out there.

The sentiment is a Unity Stamp and I thought spoke well for the image. 

So head on over and check out Sasyaki Glitter images, I am sure you will find something you will like.

Also make sure you color up something and make it into a project and enter in 

the October Crafty Awesomeness Challange.
